Happy New Year!

Who is the most dastardly Jane Austen villain? Mr. George Wickham by a landslide. Of 426 votes tallied, 56% of you voted for this man of weak character and no scruples. Here are the rest of the results:

Mr. Wickham: 240 (56%) votes

Mr. Willoughby: 86 (20%) votes

Henry Crawford: 57 (13%) votes

William Elliot: 34 (7%) votes

John Thorpe: 19 (4%) votes

Frank Churchill: 11 (2%) votes

During the next week, I will describe each man more fully, starting with the villain who garnered the fewest votes, Frank Churchill.Meanwhile, I hope you all had a safe and happy new year!
